Shortly before, they were in a lawyer's office and on the way out a man stabbed his wife.

The attempted murder took place yesterday evening in Padua in via Ugo Foscolo. The 41-year-old, of Moroccan nationality, was with his wife, a 37-year-old American, to start the separation procedures. During the interview in front of the lawyer, the discussion became bitter and continued after leaving the firm. In the entrance hall of the building the man stabbed the woman who immediately sought refuge in the lawyer's office. The 41-year-old fled, but shortly after he turned himself in to the police and was arrested.

The 37-year-old is hospitalized on a confidential but not life-threatening prognosis.
